Abstract
This Occasional Paper critically analyses the policy context and implementation of Reception Baseline Assessment (BA) introduced on a voluntary capacity in primary schools in England in September 2015 (DfE, 2014) and was part of the policy Reforming assessment and accountability for primary schools (DfE, 2014). The paper reports on a national research sample of Reception staff and parents who stated that Baseline Assessment is a flawed, inappropriate and unethical means of assessing young children. The paper concludes by suggesting that BA can be understood not only as an accountability and governance measure but also as producing new forms of commercialized digital knowledges about young children and their families.
